Sesam Search Application Toolkit (SESAT) available as Free Software
Skrevet av Michael Link, CTO
Sesam.no has today made the core java technology powering sesam.no and sesam.se, available to the public under the Affero GPL V3 license. Sesam Search Application Toolkit (SESAT) has been in development since 2005 and is now available for download from http://sesat.no
SESAT is search middleware and a search portal framework. SESAT enables a single user query to be dispatched to multiple information sources. The result is analysed, weighted and presented to the user according to configurable business rules.
"Schibsted Søk AS embraces the concept of Free Software and we have benefited greatly from the freedom to run, modify and improve the software that we have used to build sesam.no and sesam.se. By releasing our own work, we hope that other developers will find the software that we have written useful, that it will inspire new ideas and enable new initiatives," explained lead SESAT developer, Mick Semb Wever.
